Bugga of a nights sleep. The wind, dust and dry air really have given me some grief, woke at one stage short of breath and had to go for the puffer again...This morning all was good. Poked my head out of my burrow and was able to draw a full breath and actually felt like I could breathe.
From my diary entries in march you may notice that its slowly , slowly. Bearing in mind that back in 2000 I was covering 120 - 140 miles a week with three quality sessions a week I still have a long way to to. My main focus is to run every day regardless of how small just so that I train myself to get out there.
My diet is improving by itself and I have significantly cut back my alcohol intake as well as soft drinks without a significantly conscious effort. This has come about purely because as I get fitter and do slightly more work I don't want to spoil it. This is the reverse of the cycle that we get into where we do nothing, drink eat and feel miserable and because we feel miserable we eat and drink and do even less. (This was me through 2004-2008). For me it was a matter of getting my head right.
Current weight is fluctuating between 66.9kg and 65kg..(racing weight) now I only need to match the fitness levels with the bodies desire to race well and I'll be OK.
I will put up January's and February's training shortly so you can see the slow steady build up. For me this has been about reading the body and increasing as I felt that I could. If I go out and feel great I will run n longer, if I go out and really struggle then I turn around and go home.
